Living Can Kill You

Watching the CBC lurch left

It may be “Comedy Day in Canada,” but apparently Michael Connell isn’t laughing. He’s launched a new site to keep an eye on the creeping bias of the Mother Corp. Called CBC Watch, the site is designed to look like a community blog. Technically, it could be a community blog, but the only posts are by two anonymous users — “user2” and “Guest” — who share the same right-wing views.

Perhaps coincidentally, there is also an activist named Michael Connell who is communications director for the Toronto-based Catholic Civil Rights League which is known for — among other things — its anti-CBC views. (Thanks to some CAJ-List members and Antonia Zerbisias for the pointers.)
